AI Artificial Intelligence Award deep learning Neural Networks

The ‘Godfathers of AI’ win Turing Award

sudshr47 March 27, 2019

The winners of the 2018 Turing Award have been announced.

Geoffrey Hinton, Yann LeCun, and Yoshua Bengio — sometimes referred to as the “godfathers of artificial intelligence” — have won the 2018 Turing Award for their work on neural networks. The three artificial intelligence pioneers’ work basically laid the foundation for modern AI technologies.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, artificial intelligence experienced a renewed popularity within the scientific community. However, by the mid-90s, scientists had failed to make any major advancements in AI, making it harder to secure funding or publish research. Hinton, LeCun, and Bengio remained undeterred and continued with their work. Read more…

AI Artificial Intelligence Facebook Revenge Porn Tech

Facebook claims its new AI technology can automatically detect revenge porn

sudshr47 March 15, 2019

Facebook is ramping up its fight against revenge porn.

On Friday, the company announced the launch of its new AI technology that it says can proactively detect “near-nude” images and video shared without consent. Facebook says that with this tool it can now automatically flag revenge porn before anyone even reports it.

Facebook previously relied on its users, often times the victims themselves, to notify the social network about this type of nonconsensual content found on the platform. This posed a problem.

“Often victims are afraid of retribution so they are reluctant to report the content themselves or are unaware the content has been shared,” says Facebook’s global head of safety Antigone Davis in a post. Read more…

Can you guess which face is real, and which is computer generated?

sudshr47 February 21, 2019

Computers have recently gotten much, much better at a somewhat unsettling skill: generating fake human faces. As in, creating an image of a human who has never existed before. We saw the concept go a bit viral this week with ThisPersonDoesNotExist, a website hooked to a machine that generates a new face every few seconds. […]

This website uses AI to generate faces of people who don’t exist

sudshr47 February 15, 2019

With the help of artificial intelligence, you can manipulate video of public figures to say whatever you like — or now, create images of people’s faces that don’t even exist.

You can see this in action on a website called thispersondoesnotexist.com. It uses an algorithm to spit out a single image of a person’s face, and for the most part, they look frighteningly real.

Hit refresh in your browser, and the algorithm will generate a new face. Again, these people do not exist.
